I will discuss with vet at our next check up if needed but just wondering, is my senior cat unusual to sleep as much as she does?
She's about 16-17 yrs old. She sleeps through the night, gets up for breakfast, goes back to sleep, gets up for lunch, goes back to sleep and then usually doesn't get up again until late for dinner. She doesn't really do much, just the short walk from the sofa to the water bowl and food and to the litter box, sometimes to the downstairs bathroom to sleep on the bath mat. I'm sure she sleeps about 20-22 hours a day!
She also sleeps really deeply sometimes, not just cat naps. I have left the house and come back 30 minutes later and she doesn't even stir unless I go to touch her.
She eats well, drinks a lot (reducing kidney function, regular blood/urine tests done at least every 6 months) and seems ok the little time she's awake.
